Dreaming to Some Purpose.

j. Milton Akers writes from Pine
Island, Mimi, to the Christian Advo-
cate as follows: 'In the winter of
1S59-'60 the writer WIS teaching school
in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, and
boarding with an intelligent and sub
stantial farmer of German. extraction by
the name of Al yhony FELTON,. The
family was remarkable one for
ingenuity. One night after school the
conversation turned upon difficult prob
lens in mathematics. | mentioned one
that my brother had sent me. which /
considered quite intricate. The ques-
ton was as follows q reproduce from
memory) Sold 5000 ellis Flemish of
cloth for S21, $50, and gained as much
per yard as one-eighth of the prime cost
of an ell English. What was the prime
cost per yard, and of the whole piece?'
On repeating the question my host told
me promptly it could not be done. |
repeated it several times for him during
the evening, till he had its conditions
well fixed in his mind. | assured him
1 had solved it by algebra, of which he
knew nothing. The next morning, on
coming from my room, he said: Il can
tell you all about that problem now
Upon asking him how he had reached
the solution, he said: Il dreamed it
out | smiled incredulously, for had
no faith in such straight dreaming. /
said: Let me see your solution?' and
to my astonishment and delight he pro-
duced an arithmeticai solution that was
a marvel of analytic simplicity. l then
asked more particularly about his dream.
He said: IAN old man, to whom had
at one time gone to school, came to me.

about something asked the cause. re-
peated the question to him and told him
that l told the master that it could
not be solved. The old man said to
me ''it makes no difference what you
told the master, it can be worked,
and then told me how to do it, And
he remembered it so distinctly that he
solved the question by the instructions
received in his dream.

Monkeys Opening oysters,

So many people have expressed their
surprise at hearing that l constantly
saw monkeys breaking open oysters
with stone on the islands off South
Burmah, that itmayle ofinterestto give
a short description of their method of
using such a tool. The low-water rocks
of the island of the Mergui Archipelago
are covered with oysters, large and
small. A monkey, probably macaeus
cynomolgus, which infest these islands,
prowls about the shore when the tide is
low, opening the rock oysters with a
stone by striking the base of the upper
valves until it dislocates and breaks up.
He then extracts the oysters with his
finger and thumb, occasionally putting
his mouth straight to the broken shell.
On disturbing them | generally found
that they had selected stone more APP
parently for convenience in handing
than for its value as a hammer, and it
was smaller in proportion to what
human being would have selected for
proportionate amount of work. In
short, it was usually a stone they could
get their fingers around. As the rocks
crop up through the lowwater mud,
the stone had to be brought from high
water mark, this distance varying from
ten to eighty yards. This monkey has
chosen the easiest way to the open rock
oysters-viz.: to dislocate the valves by
blow on the base of the upper one,
and to break the shell over the attach
ing muscle. The gibbon also frequents
these islands, but never saw one ofthem
on the beach.-Nature.

Motion in Paintings.

The painter is able to represent
motion by taking advantage of the I'M
conscious working OF our preconceiyed
impressions, writes DIR. Dreher in the
Popular Science Monthly. Looking
at a mastery marine landscape in the
national gallery at Berlin one day, |
could almost see the ship rising and
falling upon the waves and the waves
themselves seemed to be in motion as
they swelled and swept by the vessel.
The painter had seized a single instant
in the succession. and had so represent
ed it as to call out the idea of consecu-
tiveness. The question arises, how is
the artist to illustrate motion, as he
often has to do, say in such case as
that of a rapidly turning wheel, in
which we can at no instant distinguish
the single spokes, but see only a con-
fusion of flying lines? 1t is clearly inn
possible for him to give the exact APP
pearanee of motion. He can only seize
a given instant or stage, and so manage
that it shall represent itself as the effect
of the preceding stage and the cause
of the following one. A sword blow
must be represented at a decisive point,
not at a stage in the descent of the
weapon, else the illusion will be destroy
ed; a pendulum in motion, not at the
bottom of its course, where it would
seem to be at rest. In painting a gal
Looping horse, no stage of the exact
motion is reproduced. The instanta-
neous photographs have demonstrated
that; and also that, if the artist should
attempt a reproduction of the kind, he

Value ofIrish Land.

The other day a London auc-
tioneer offered for sale what he
described as the magnificent resi-
dental and freehold demesne of Ros-
tellan Castle, on the shores of the cove
Of Cork, and about five miles from the
port of Queenstown. The property,
which was represented as being delight
fully situated near the finest Watching
station in the United Kingdom, com
prised an aggregate acreage of 1103
acres, producing an estimated rental of
fl676 los, and included the whole of
the village of Fairsid, in addition to
which there were valuable seams of
hematite ore and slick pottery clay on
the estate. The modern part of the
castle was rebuilt in the 18th century
on the ruins ofan older feudal structure,
which was captured in 1915 by Muir
rough, lord president of Munster, and
shortly afterward recaptured and burnt
by the royal troops under the Earl of
Castlehaven. The auctioneer admitted
that Just now there was a feeling of
diffidence as to the investing of British
capital in Irish property or industrial
enterprise of any kind, but said that he
believed they were fast approaching
the end of their difficulties in Ireland,
the immediate future of which, he hop
ed, would be one Of peace and pros
perity. In reply to a question, he said
Griflith's valuation of the property was
f1395 It's. The bidding started with
an offer of 100000 and reached f2O.-
600, beyond which figure intending
purchasers did not seem disposed to add
vance, and the property, on behalf Of
the owner, Mr.. Wise. was withdrawn,
the auctioneer remarking that on the
admittedly reduced estimate of Sir
Richard Griffith's valuation the estate
was worth 425,000.
